Day ability: Chaos in the Court – Usable only during trial executing her original contract, the Mercenary disrupts the trial by sacrificing her own life and killing one that voted for execution. The desperate murder buys time for the contract to flee to their room for the night, preventing a second trial that day.
Genesis of this idea was to figure out a way to let a Mercenary double down on her original target, instead of the plain Jane, pick a winner the second time around strategy. Might be a bit much in late game situations – but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it could create some really hype situations. People love trial drama!
